ADSORPTION OF CARBON DIOXIDE ACETYLENE ETHANE AND PROPYLENE ON CHARCOAL AT NEAR ROOM TEMPERATURES

The adsorption equilibria for acetylene, ethane, and propylene on an activated charcoal were obtained. Isotherms were measured for the pure gases in the temperature range 30° to 50° C. and pressures up to 1 atm. These adsorption isotherms have beencorrelated by a modification of the Rolanyi adsorption potential theory and by a semitheoretical relationship proposed by Koble and Corrigan. A similar correlation for adsorption data obtained for carbon dioxide, on the same activated charco withthe same experimental conditions of temperature and pressure, is included. © 1969, American Chemical Society.
